Ahrramin Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 So in a fairly recent call-in show there was an ex-hockey player who suffered chronic pain since he stopped playing.I would like to ask that person if he changed his diet when he stopped playing hockey.Because, eating poor quality food can increase the inflammatory response, meaning existing damage which he was living fine with, once he stopped and started eating badly, the body could start attacking itself in those places through inflammation (blood quarantine) and make that damage worse. So, say, he could have done damage in his joint but his body just accepts it and it's not really a problem, then the body quarantines it, starving the cells of oxygen causing them to die (thinking it is infected or something) which causes more damage, perpetuating the same inflammatory response, preventing it from ever healing. I was neglected and, I don't know what the term would be, but sort of 'actively neglected' too... What would you call it when a parent, for example, tells a child that it is good to eat lots of sweets, or to starve themselves, or to do any such harmful thing because it will make them prettier, or stronger etc..? So not only are they feeding the child badly, but also telling them it is good so they engage in it by their own will.Anyway, I experienced this chronic pain due to bad diet as a child, and when I changed my diet as an adult, the pain stopped within days. So... clearly I had not had a chance yet to heal, it's just that the inflammation stopped, which then allowed me to function normally and my body just healed then over time. Feel free to move this thread to a more appropriate sub-forum if one exists.
